Hello, SM Team will start here !

Lineup still not done, but some are certain to do it !

Kovago will be the leader at usual
Wloszczowski the climb helper
Ongais the classic
Razek the other classic
Kladrubsky the pavéman
Zsombok, the reg man
Fabisovsky another regman
Kallay another regman

Last spot is between Torok, Hnik, Gobervik and Vasoulek

Probably over 550k

I will be here, hope for Alki too, that will be then an amazing group in the morning with kovago, Hjerte and Juarez and his helper

So team would be this:
1. Eluf Hjerte, new leader for one tour
2. Luca Rosi, the leader himself
3. I like big Mellonen, Meggan Mallone
4. Tomate Waka Nene, Classicsprinter, helper and leader, who knows
5. Dani van de Moot, Oranje Boven
6. Osarenren Okungbowa, nice helper
7. Blagovesta Bonbonova, I like Bonbons
8. Lukas Quaderer, Ksp-rider and Sprinter
9. Lily Carter, Boooooooooooooooobs

Again Sm it will be interesting, but with Alki and more Teams, it will be great

See you in Great Britain, bye

Maybe interesting, but I fear I'll have no fun at all like 2 years ago in the afternoon... I hope it won't be the same

Poor SM, no fun
Maybe try to have fun by riding, instead of by pissing the others off, then you'd have more fun too maybe. Or even better, get lost.

You rode in the morning two years ago, but maybe still had less fun than I had And for me being there, 10h looks better than 15h in July, so I assume I'll be there, too.

Ok, so we must hope, that there will be 7-13 more teams, then it will be a really nice tour

Ok, nice
So the last guy for my lineup will be likely a flat guy with not much reg

We are almost 10 already in the morning, should be quite nice

Note : I'll miss the 2 first stages, then I'll be fully online

So the first big race is over, sm getiing a lot of time to Alki and me. But the tour is long and we will see, if he can defend it. So i do a little analysis about this morning tour:

Gc- Favos:
Nr. 1 Kovago
Nr. 2 Juarez and Hjerte
Nr. 3 Rosi, Shona and Martin
Nr. 4 A surprise, don't really think there will be one with this teams

Mountain Favos:
The rider who wants it, maybe a climber, we will see

Green Favos:
No real favo but some rider have more chances like:
Bart, Berrendo, Perrin and Kovago, but it is really open

White Favos:
Nr.1 Mount
Nr.2 Rooney
Nr.3 a surprise

Team classement:
If there are normal races, then Alki, SM or Tulpe, but hard to say who will win it

So thats it, its not a clear tour and so its getting interesting

Good, then we can all fight against Kovago

I've only 1 min advantage on you and alk, and it's easy to lose 1 min in the mountains... (especially if you see my Giro...), I have to gain time here as expected, but I don't see at all that I'm favo for the tour

Better drop Kovago then to make sure you don't win. Or don't chase any groups and let the favorites do that.

For me Hjerte still dangerous, but for Juarez, it will be not easy now, and you should be able to take almost all stage wins in mountains

Popcorn!

Easy win for Sierra today, sprintersteams didn't rode well at the end

Ready for tomorrow, probably a classic win if escape doesn't.

Strange stage today, as expected, escape wins, but Juarez got siebed by Miles Mount on the 11% at the before last climb, while Ongais can hold on, tough day for Alkworld, he lost a battle, but not the war ^^

Kovago able to retake yellow, with no time lost on Eluf

Nice resistance from Alk today, only 14 sec taken, it looks to be more and more difficult for me now, as far as Tulpe doesn't do anything, tour winner will be likely Alkworld, still tomorrow, but again, I won't take more than 15 sec on Alk normally...

first win for the team today, nice :

Kovago
Hjerte + 51sec
Martin + 1min22
Shona + 1min25
Mount + 1min29 (white)
Rosi + 1min48
Juarez +2min00

Pyrenean stages are difficult, but I expected no time gain against Alk at Port de Balès, but I can win some time in the 2 last pyrenean stages... but 1 min missing to Alk now in the view of the TT

1 mountain stage to go, Juarez lost 21 sec yesterday, and surprisingly only 17 today, so the gap is now 2 min 38, while Hjerte is back with only 47 sec behind (looked very strong today)

for me need 3 min on Juarez and 30 on Hjerte to have a chance to win this tour...

What a thrilling TDF here, that was awesome !

Finally on the final TT, Kovago can save only 7 sec to Juarez, and after a fast start, Hjerte completely fall in the last kms

Was a pleasure, the best GT I ever ride

Congrats to Hjerte for red, and Rooney for White, and with the yellow I'll get likely green jersey too
